Woj: Spurs have traded De Colo for Austin Daye

[Bruno]

it takes two to tango though... maybe they looked and couldn't find/work out a deal they wanted...

Maybe...

It's difficult to judge a trade deadline when a team doesn't do a significant trade since you don't know what was on the table. It's just disappointing.

However, I would be way more critical regarding their summer where they blow their cap space for Ayres and Bonner.

-Ayres has been the only really quantifiable miss for the Front Office since last season IMO. Even the most pessimistic Spurfan couldn't have expected him to be this bad.
-Getting AK would have been an obvious slam dunk but you can't put him taking under the table money on RC/Pop.
-Beli has been a big upgrade over Neal IMO

I'll give them til after the buyout period to fully assess but no other contender has hit any home runs since last season either tbh.

I would've bet they would make a move at this deadline, seeing RC was pretty clear about the "big hole" behind Kawhi. With that in mind, I'm thinking they looked at options, but either there was nothing there or couldn't pull it off...

I was looking at the Spurs 'assets' the last few days, and I couldn't see how they could pull anything off if they were not willing to part with Bonner, which apparently they don't want to do.

What's worse game 6 or Ayres?

in "my book" A expires that nobody wants, has value 0

I believe this to be the case. I like the guy but he seriously adds no value to this team, especially in the playoffs. The front office should be more concerned about winning and less concerned about keeping someone around just because they personally like him.

How has Daye not gotten bigger tbh.. 6'11'' and barely 200 lbs is almost unheard of. Even skeletons like John Henson and Anthony Randolph are 220+ at 6'11".

Perhaps those guys carry 20 lbs. of dong weight...and Daye packs vienna sausage?

You also don't usually know what's really available. Maybe the 76ers were asking way too much for Young, or the Jazz insisted on a 1st rounder for Marvin Williams. I'm disappointed as well, but there is so much we'll never know that it's hard to be critical of a move that wasn't made. You can only really judge the ones that were.

[TheGoldStandard]

What can the Spurs realistically expect to get in the draft in 2014? Seriously if you buy the hype it's top heavy not full of great solid players. Knowing the front office who always like to skimp on money they'll draft and stash some nobody who we'll speculate will come over and play for us in 6 years.

[SupremeGuy]

They lost an expiring and gained a guy who will be tying up a roster next year. That in my book is a net negative.

Dude, this guy is no different from Green, tbh.

Look at him when he was with the Cavs/whatever other team, and look at him now. He's tall, can drain the 3, and will play backup 3(which we sorely needed).

Austin Darren Daye is an American professional basketball player who currently plays for the San Antonio Spurs of the NBA. Wikipedia Damn Wiki update their fast

[Russo21]

Feel sorry for Tim. At this point I wouldn't give a if he requested to be waived and went to the thunder or heat for rings 5 and 6

[freetiago]

lateral move at best for a talented scrub for a straight scrub
in the playoffs the backcourt rotation will be

Mills
Belinelli
Manu

then Diaw/Splitter at PF/C

Man, James Johnson would have been absolutely perfect for the Spurs, sad that Hollinger beat RC to it, tbh..

I wouldn't have expected the Spurs to miss out on a D-League prospect..

Didn't the Spurs have him in during the off season for as workout? I thought they passed.

Yes, but he then signed with the Hawks before being waived after the preseason. He then signed with the D-league where I first noticed (in a game against Toros) his weight loss/improved ball handling/perimeter speed.

So not sure if he was in shape during the Spurs workout or going to the D-league really lit a fire under him.

[ace3g]

It will be interesting to hear Pop's assessment of Daye tomorrow during pregame interviews.

[KL2]

I expect Austin will be sent to Austin in these upcoming dayes.

[siraulo23]

^ not too bad
